From featured recipes: Moroccan Stuffed Mushrooms

A Middle Eastern flavour with the addition of couscous, coriander and cumin updates the familiar stuffed mushrooms. Assemble the filling one to two days ahead then fill the mushrooms just before serving.

Invert the cleaned mushroom and pull off the stem. Use the small end of a sharp melon baller to scoop excess mushroom flesh from the underside of the cap. The flesh that is removed can be chopped and added to the stuffing mixture.
